Interesting Ebola Curve

An interesting curve of Ebola RNA has been presented from a German study in NEJM.

What is worrisome is the viral load in sweat well into the 40th day after exhibiting symptoms. Frankly that is one of the easiest bodily fluids transferred and one especially the case in the New York City exposure. It seems to remain at a measurable level even though the patient is considered free based upon urine and serum. Ebola is a single stranded RNA virus that appears as a crosier with its crooked neck. Having this data makes one wonder what Public Health Officials are basing their judgements upon.
